   ENOS F. HUNSBERGER farmer, P.O. Plumsteadville, is a 
grandson of Isaac Hunsberger, a descendant of one of three 
brothers who came from Germany in the early part of the last 
century.  Isaac removed to Juniata county, where he died, 
his wife returning to this county with her children.  She 
died in Hilltown about forty-five years ago.  Their son, 
Abraham, was father of Enos.  He was born in this county in 
October, 1786, and died in Hilltown in February, 1860.  He 
was an industrious man, and of good repute.  His wife, Nancy 
Fretz, was born in Hilltown in 1795, and died in September, 
1863.  They had nine children: Susanna, Martin, Isaac, 
Elizabeth and John, who are deceased; and Esther, Annie and 
Abraham F., all living in Dublin; and Enos F., who was the 
youngest, and was born January 4, 1835.  On his marriage he 
removed to his present home, then owned by his wife's 
father, but which he subsequently bought.  In this house 
Mrs. Hunsberger was born and has lived all her life.  She 
was born March 3, 1837, and is a daughter of Peter and Anna 
Loux.  Mr. and Mrs. Hunsberger have had five children, of 
whom two, Anna L. and Sarah, died young. The others are:  
Emma L., Peter L., and Harvey D., all at home.  The family 
are members of the Old Deep Run Mennonite church.   Mr. 
Hunsberger is an honest, straightforward man.  He has been 
school director for several years.
